The 3 stages of a review

The PSR Scheme provides for the separation of the decision-making process and has three main stages, which may not apply to all cases.

Review by the Director

The PSR process begins when a Delegate of the Chief Executive Medicare requests the Director to undertake a review of the provision of services by a practitioner over a specified period.

Investigation by a Committee

If the Director considers that the conduct of the practitioner needs further investigation, or the practitioner chooses not to enter into a negotiated agreement, a Committee of the practitioner’s peers is established.

Determining Authority

When a Committee makes a finding of inappropriate practice against a practitioner, the Determining Authority will invite submissions from the practitioner on the sanctions it should impose.
